ad hoc tagged sets
Given an ordered set S and an arbitrary set T, any function T -> S induces a natural ordering on T. We use this idea and the infrastructure provided by Tagged.Set to quickly construct sets over arbitrary types with custom comparison rules.

Eliminating type annotations with single case Active Patterns
When passing objects as arguments to F# functions, it is almost certain that a type annotation will be required. This may generate long and noisy code at times, but thankfully we can use active patterns to mitigate this annoyance.

An implementation of Async.Choice
This is an implementation of the Async.Choice combinator that composes a sequence of workflows into one whose result is that of the first workflow that returns a *valid* result. You can think of it as a nondeterministic version of (Seq.tryPick id). This implementation draws ideas from Tomas Petricek's choice implementation in http://fssnip.net/6D. UPDATE (11/2015): Following the discussion in https://fslang.uservoice.com/forums/245727-f-language/suggestions/10575069-add-async-choice-to-fsharp-core I have updated the snippet.

Pluggable Exception Contexts
.Net exceptions carry with them lots of useful metadata that are not directly user modifiable. In certain applications, such as distributed or symbolic execution it might be reasonable to need to modify such metadata. The following pattern is a proposal on effectively decoupling an exception from its contextual metadata, as well as a way of defining exception hierarchies while avoiding all the ISerializable boilerplate.

Monadic state lifting combinators
The generic model for stateful computation (S -> S x R) provides a convenient mechanism of threading stateful computation results since the functor λR . S -> S x R is monadic. But what happens if we want to thread state itself? Well, the mapping λS. S -> S x R is not even functorial! But it turns out it can become so with a bit of trickery. This snippet demonstrates a way to lift, project or inject stateful computations into ambient state monads.

A reversible stateful execution workflow
This is an attempt to define a workflow that contains reversible stateful computations. In the event of an exception being raised, all insofar successful operations will fold back to their original state. The implementation uses the notion of reversible computation primitives, which are composed using a free monad that is interpreted with a trampoline.

A parametric fixpoint combinator
Writing functions that recursively generate lambdas from a given parameter is a useful practice, but things get trickier when you need the output functions themselves to be mutually recursive. This is my attempt at creating a fix-point combinator that transparently handles this requirement. It also gives memoization for free as a side-effect.

A bind/return computation expression that does not satisfy any of the monad laws
A long overdue counterexample of a pure bind/return computation expression that does not satisfy any of the monad laws, as promised to @silverSpoon. This uses binary trees under the hood, which define a binary operation but do not satisfy any unit or associativity laws. Binary trees can also encode the syntactic structure of a computation expression, which is being captured using a state-updating bind implementation.
